I'm a book and media historian with particular interest in the ways that social identities (including race, sexuality, and religion) inflect material practices (like reading, editing, or printing). Researching the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Atlantic world, I’ve co-edited the essay collection Early African American Print Culture and published most recently When Novels Were Books. My current research investigates printing in the colonial Caribbean (British and French, some Spanish), and I’ve begun working through this material in a course called “Geographies of the Book: Nation, Colony, Plantation.” I hope to be contribute to SHARP’s ongoing efforts to broaden the topics and regions of book history, as well as to help create a meaningfully inclusive environment for the scholars who study it.
